The Annual Shareholder Fundraiser

The Kasaan Haida Heritage Foundation is looking at different options for their annual fundraiser this year. They will be sure to keep you appraised of their plans.

Please contact Jeane Breinig at jeane@gci.net if you have any questions

Greetings To Our Shareholders From Your President

Work and planning continues at the Whale House Park following the incredibly successful restoration of the Whale House leading to the 2017 rededication celebration that brought eight hundred to a thousand people to Kasaan.

I must say the big news this year locally is getting the head of the Brown Bear memorial replaced by Master Carver Stormy Hamar. This is step one of a long journey getting some restoration done to most of the totems at Whale House Park. The monies that it took to restore the came from donations and many dollars raised from shareholder’s donations at the Kasaan Haida Heritage Foundation's annual auction that usually follows Kavilco’s Shareholder’s Dinner. This has become an exciting event over the years.

Next up will be the restoration or replacement of the Killer Whale seen in the background of this photo. Donation to the noble endeavor of restoring the totem park can be mailed to: KHHF c/o Kavilco Inc. 1000 Second Avenue, Suite 3320 Seattle, WA 98104 Please contribute as much as you can to this project as we will not be having our regular auction this year due to Covid-19.

I think the most remarkable thing about Kasaan’s Whale House Park is the approach to the park itself. As you hike along the heavily wooded rain forest trail to the park and the first pole begins to come into view; with shadows in the underbrush and cedar tree branches you can feel yourself stepping back in time. There is nothing like it.

I wish all of our shareholders could visit the the Totem Park in Greetings to Our Shareholders 6 Kasaan and get a glimpse of Kavilco’s roots. One can only imagine what it must have been like inside the Whale House as storytellers entertained, with the only light coming from the flickering of the wood fire located in the center of the house. The storytellers would take advantage of many objects at their disposal along with the crackling of the burning wood, and the shadows created by the ever flickering and changes in intensity of the fire. As you may expect, because of the coronavirus not many people will be enjoying this experience any time soon.

Speaking of the the coronavirus, a committee of Haida speakers had to cancel “The First International Haida Speakers Immersion” to be held in Kasaan This, to be sure, would have been a wonderful event for the community and Kavilco. Several staff and visitors were going to stay at the Bunkhouse for several days in August. Sadly recent breakouts of the virus and the risk of exposing the elders to such an environment was too high.

Another consequence of the virus is the loss of important work done to assist the growth of the next generation of saleable timber. The thinning projects tie in nicely with this Board of Directors commitment to pass on to the next generation of shareholders a strong and healthy corporation. All and all, its been another busy summer in Kasaan.

Sincerely,

/s/ Louis L. Jones, Sr.

Louis L. Jones, Sr., President

 

Greetings To Our Shareholders From Your CFO

It was a chaotic first half-year for the stock market. To recap, the year started out strong with multiple stock indexes setting all-time highs. Then COVID-19 struck, spreading across Asia and Europe before hitting our shores. This deadly pandemic would lead to business closures, mandating social distancing. As the infection surged, the economy fell into the greatest recession since the Great Depression. Already more than 30% of mortgages, rents, and student loans are behind on their payments.

Just prior to the pandemic, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was remarkably close to the 30,000 mark. Within weeks the Dow fell to 18,200. Of course, Kavilco’s portfolio was not spared. In January we were riding a $4,671,533 unrealized gain. Within days of the announced pandemic, unrealized gain vaporized and as of June 30th we are sitting on an unrealized loss of $2,495,658, a loss of value of $7,167,191. Granted, the change in the value does not factor into your dividend but other negative income issues will have impact on future dividends.

First the good news. As the stock market has cratered, the dividend yield on stocks has risen. In the face of all the bad news, the board approved the purchases of dividend yielding stocks. Along with $2,300,482 in purchases, we have picked up some growth stocks (Amazon and Apple) along with an inflation play in gold and silver.

Now for the bad news. For several years, the board has approved a strategy that we refer to as the Dow Dogs. Ten of the highest yielding Dow stocks purchased at the beginning of the year, and the positions that have an unrealized gain will be sold in the fourth quarter. Last year this strategy was very successful and attributed over $300,000 to your dividend. As of June 30th we are sitting on a $235,221 unrealized loss. Granted, a lot can happen in four months that could turn this strategy around and boost your dividend.

As previously pointed out the economy is in a recession. Concurrently, corporate earnings have had a substantial decline along with a $42.5 billion drop in dividends from a year ago. Once again, we were not spared. Shell Oil, Lamar Advertising, Weyerhaeuser Co, and Wells Fargo & Co are examples of companies that either reduced or eliminated their dividends. Greetings to Our Shareholders 8 From Your CFO The goal is to offset the loss in dividend income with our recent stock purchases.

As an Alaskan Corporation, we share income from other native corporations on a per capita basis, earnings from the sales of natural resources. So far this year we have $116,880 in income from this. In the first half of 2019 we had $188,400 of income. This result is a reduction in income of $71,520 which will have a negative impact on shareholder dividends.

These are unprecedented times. The Fed, along with other countries, had already been lowering interest rates to 0% to help boost their economies. This has never happened in the last 5,000 years of recorded history, nor can we look at historical events that would give us some idea on how all this is going to play out. The shareholders and I are truly fortunate to have a concerned board that is doing everything possible to protect the portfolio and stem the damage to our investment income.

Yes, Kavilco is confronted with major financial challenges, but more importantly, Kavilco lost three lovely women with the passing of Julia Coburn, Eleanor Berger (Gordon) and Mary Jones. Annual meetings are a time of reflection for me. I always take time to reminisce over all the shareholders that I knew personally. At annual and board meetings I was privileged to know these ladies extremely well I am going to sincerely miss them.

Sincerely,

/s/ Scott Burns

Scott Burns, Chief Financial Officer

Financial Statements (Unaudited) June 30, 2020 ~ Notes

 

Note 1. Organization

 

Kavilco Incorporated ("the Company") is a village corporation within the Sealaska region organized on November 13, 1973, pursuant to the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act ("ANCSA") of 1971. Under ANCSA, the Native claims to land in Alaska were settled in exchange for part of the state's land and compensation. Settlement benefits were given to Natives of Alaska villages in the form of ownership shares in village corporations that were organized pursuant to ANCSA. The Company was organized for the purpose of securing and administering the land and benefits for the Natives of the Kasaan village in Alaska. Contributed capital includes receipts from the U.S. government and the state of Alaska under provisions of ANCSA.

 

On November 1, 1989, the Company began to operate as a self-managed, closed end management investment company, as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("the Act"). The Company is subject to various restrictions imposed by the Act and the Internal Revenue Code, including restrictions on borrowing, dividend, distribution policies, operations, and reporting requirements. The Company's investment decisions focus primarily on large-cap dividend equity investments and fixed income investments, are made by management under the direction of the Board of Directors.

 

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on deposit with banks. The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company has cash balances in excess of federally insured limits.

 

Valuation of Investments

 

All investments are recorded at estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.

 

Investment Transactions and Income

 

Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are computed using the last in, first out (“LIFO”) method. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis as adjusted for the amortization of discounts and premiums using the effective interest method. Premiums and discounts, including original issue discounts, are amortized for both tax and financial reporting purposes. Dividend income is recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Unrealized gains and losses are included in the statement of operations.

 

Federal Income Taxes

 

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and Alaska State.

 

The Company's policy is to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute at least 90% of its net investment taxable income to its shareholders. Generally, no federal income tax provision is required for the Company.

 

The Company records a liability, if any, for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in an income tax return. No liability has been recorded for uncertain tax positions or related interest or penalties as of June 30, 2020.

 

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the payable date. Dividends are generally declared and paid twice a year. Capital gain distributions are generally declared and paid annually. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations and may differ from those determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

Directors' Compensation and Expenses

 

Each member of the Board of Directors receives compensation for each board meeting attended during the year, in addition to a per diem allowance. Directors are also reimbursed for such expenses as accommodation, airfare, and car rental related to Board meetings. In addition to meeting related expenses, the Company pays for the medical insurance and out of pocket expenses of certain directors.

 

Note 3. Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market based measurement determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. There are three levels that prioritize the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

·Level 1: Observable market inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
·Level 2: Observable market inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
·Level 3: Unobservable inputs where there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

An asset's or liability's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value, including a general description of the asset.

 

Money Market Funds

 

Fair value of money market funds is determined using quoted market prices and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Equity securities (common stock)

 

Securities traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market) are stated at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Corporate bonds

 

The fair value of corporate bonds is estimated using various techniques, which may consider recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, market price quotations (where observable), bond spreads, fundamental data relating to the issuer, and credit default swap spreads. Corporate bonds are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Real Estate

 

Real estate represents entitlement to the surface estate of real property, for which no readily available market quotation exists. Fair value of real estate is determined by management based on a Certified Forester's opinion as to the current value and status of the land, along with other factors. Other relevant factors include the lack of commercially viable timber due to previous harvest, amount of capital expenditures required for the future growth of timber, location of the property, recent sales of similar real property in the region and market demand and supply for this type of real property during the valuation process. Real estate is included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

The following table presents information about the Company's investments in securities and real estate measured at fair value as of June 30, 2020:

 

          Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Balance
Investments in Securities              
  U.S. Corporate Bonds  $               -       $               -       $               -       $               -   
  U.S. Common Stock      30,374,482                30,374,482
  Money Market Fund          961,033                    961,033
           $  31,335,515    $               -       $               -       $  31,335,515
Real Estate  $               -       $               -       $    6,292,000    $    6,292,000
                   $               -       

 

The Company recognizes transfers between Level 1 and 2 at the end of the reporting period. As of June 30, 2020, no significant transfers between Level 1 or 2 occurred.

 

At June 30, 2020, there were no realized gain (loss), cost or purchases, proceeds from sales, or transfers in or out of Level 3 at the end of the reporting period. Refer to Note 4 (Real Estate) for a description of the fair value of the real estate. There was no unrealized gain (loss) in the value of the real estate from December 31, 2019 to June 30, 2020.

 

Note 4. Real Estate

 

At June 30, 2020, the Company owns fee title to the surface estate of 22,946 acres of real estate located in southeast Alaska.

 

As of June 30, 2020, there is no commercially viable timber on the real estate and the Company has no outstanding timber agreements. The last harvest and sale of timber from this land was in 2001.

 

The financial statements include real estate valued at $6,292,000 in 2019, the value of which was determined by an independent appraisal. There was no change in the value at June 30, 2020 from December 31, 2019.

 

Note 5. Trading Risk

 

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into financial transactions involving instruments where there is risk of potential loss due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to the transaction to perform (credit risk).

 

Market risk is the potential change in value caused by fluctuations in market prices of an underlying financial instrument. Subsequent market fluctuations may require selling investments at prices that differ from the values reflected on the statement of assets and liabilities. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which financial instruments are traded. The Company's exposure to market risk may be increased in that a significant portion of its assets may be invested in a relatively small number of investment positions at any one time. Accordingly, appreciation or depreciation in value of investment positions may have a more significant effect on the value of the Company's portfolio than would be the case in a more diversified or hedged portfolio.

 

Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur due to the failure of the counterparty to perform according to the terms of a contract. The Company's exposure to credit risk associated with counterparty nonperformance includes cash deposits that may exceed applicable insurance limits. The Company seeks to control such credit risk by maintaining deposits with only high quality financial institutions and trading exchange traded financial instruments, which generally do not give rise to significant counterparty exposure due to the requirements of the individual exchanges.

 

Note 6. Investment Transactions

 

Purchases of investment securities (common stock and publicly traded partnerships) aggregated $2,300,482 for the six month period ended June 30, 2020, and sales and maturities of investment securities (consisting of corporate bonds and common stock) aggregated $174,934 for the six month period ended June 30, 2020.

 

The U.S. federal income tax basis of the Company's investments is the same as for financial reporting purposes. The gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation for U.S. federal income tax purposes is $4,212,524 and $6,708,182, respectively, as of June 30, 2020.
